It is a truth universally acknowledged that those that seek and maintain power are the least suited to have it.
In organizations like this (or really, most organizations) you have to pick two: advocate for the company (ie drive results), advocate for your team, or advocate for yourself. And that's if you're exceptional. Accomplishing one (or even zero) of these things is far more common.
Unfortunately there's an inverse relationship between people who are very, very good at advocating for themselves and being able to do anything else. Yet, narcissistic tendencies are disproportionality rewarded.
When people like Magda win, every single other person loses. *next slide*

As inspiring and insightful as always. Thank you!
